so what john mccain said is very qualified. you put that on top of the fact that chuck hagel has said things over the past five, six, seven years that does place him outside the mainstream of american political thought when it comes to foreign policy. i think that's fair too. so i think that's what the senate is supposed to do. they're supposed to advise and consent. i think john mccain is doing it exactly like he should do it. he has problems with it, but he's going to let the president put his person in charge. i thought mccain was very fair there. mark? you take some of the things he said in the past, they're pretty bad, but he circled back. he's talked to lindsey. he's assured some other people that those are not his positions today. >> senator hagel has really big shoes to fill. the president's first two defense secretaries, fantastic. worked well with the hill, worked well with the pentagon. i think senator mccain, unlike some of the other critics that chuck hagel, has focused on the things where there really are question

i, john mccain will not filibuster him. then after a talk with lindsey graham he decided to talk with a group that was filibustering in an effort to get the benghazi documents. he voted to uphold the filibuster on thursday. now he says that hagel will get confirmed. so i think that there's no doubt that the unless some sort of new information comes out and the whole situation changes, hagel will be confirmed. jon: i want to ask you this question, and then give you my sort of theory on it. why the did the president nominate chuck hagel to begin with? i wondered from the start whether this was a republican nominee whom the president knew would not be popular among his fellow republicans and it might somehow make the republican members of senate look small? >> and created those very divisions we were talking about. first of all the president nominated hagel because i think he thinks hagel is pretty much in the same place as the president on a number of major public policy issues and he nedded a -- needed a secretary of defense
